This weekend is the Seaport Quilters' Guild quilt show in Clarkston, Washington. I am a vendor there for the first time, and my "poor old senile mother" and I are having a good time.
We usually try to wear matching shirts at the quilt shows, so that people can easily identify us as working at the booth. However, this doesn't come in so handy at other places. For example, when ordering our Iced Grade xtra ice no whip mochas this morning. Why, you're wondering? Well, picture two adult women in matching out fits, ordering identically particular drinks, who give rhyming names when asked for them. Now you know why the guy behind the counter did a double take and waiting for us to start laughing when we gave "Mindi" and "Wendy" as our names. He continued to look at us strangely, waiting for the punch line, as he took our money.
Every quilt show seems to have it's own unique theme question. These are questions that everybody seems to ask. They don't know that the last 50 people asked the same thing, they can't help it, it's the theme! This weekends theme happens to be "So, why are you the CRAZY quilter?" Another version on this theme is "So, what's so CRAZY about you?" This has inspired me to write a top 10 list. Watch for "The Top 10 Answers to "What's so crazy about you?" coming soon.

I don't know if 10 is enough answers because I'm sure I could come up with at least that many for you :). Need any help, just let me know! Anyone asking you that question obviously knows nothing about you!
